Time Ain’t Like A River words and music by Lenny Solomon

Key G © L. Solomon 2006

Sometimes late at night

Wonder why the world ain’t right

Patterns keep repeating

The story’s still the same

People pointing fingers, it’s a shame

Sometimes late at night

Wonder why the world’s lost sight

Of those who came before us

Who tried to end the curse

Of leaving folks behind a little worse

Sometimes late at night

Wish that we could all see the light

That’s hidden by confusion

Cause we don’t understand

The truth of what it takes to be a man

Sometimes late at night

I think about these things and I write

Words fall like embers

That quickly burn the page

Sure is hard to get some sleep these days

Time ain’t like a river, all great rivers bend

Flow into the ocean, where they end

Time stops for no one, that arrow never turns

You’d think with all this knowledge, we would learn

We would learn
